Siheyuan, my new life

As they were talking, the three of them had already walked into the training room. Lin Yu sat directly on the Chaos Lotus Platform. With a wave of Zhou Tian's hand, thousands of five-element spirit stones were placed around the lotus platform. Lin Yu focused his mind, practiced the "Green Lotus Sutra", and began a new practice.

When the bell rang for the end of get off work at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, countless workers put down their tools and walked out of the workshop.

Then countless blue-gray figures gathered into several torrents and slowly flowed towards the factory gate.

Yi Zhonghai slowly walked out of the factory gate with the crowd. He was feeling uneasy this afternoon, even like a frightened bird. Whenever a figure appeared at the door of the workshop, he couldn't help but feel frightened, always worrying that someone from the security department would come to find him.

Finally, after getting to the end of the shift in a state of trepidation, Yi Zhonghai immediately dropped the half-processed workpiece and walked quickly out of the workshop.

Finally walking out of the factory gate, Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at the security guards standing on both sides of the gate, and couldn't help but quicken his pace, following the crowd along the road.

Jia Dongxu followed Yi Zhonghai closely. As soon as he got to work today, he felt that his master was a little abnormal.

This morning, Jia Dongxu went to Yi Zhonghai's house as usual, ready to call his master to go to work together.

But unexpectedly, Yi Zhonghai was not waiting for me at home today as usual. I heard from my master's wife that my master had left because of something at the factory.

Jia Dongxu was walking on the way to the steel mill, full of doubts. As he walked, he recalled secretly, I don’t remember what the master said yesterday?

When Jia Dongxu arrived at the workshop, he did not see the master. He asked the workers around him, but no one had seen the master either.

It was almost time to go to work when Yi Zhonghai hurriedly walked into the workshop. Jia Dongxu stepped forward and asked him with concern. Usually, Yi Zhonghai was very caring and amiable towards his apprentice; but today he was out of character. He answered casually with a cold expression and picked up his tools to start working.

Jia Dongxu returned to his workstation somewhat depressed. He worked leisurely as usual, while secretly observing Yi Zhonghai's movements from time to time.

The two people's workstations are not far apart. This was specially arranged by Yi Zhonghai when he asked the workshop director to do so. The reason was to make it more convenient to teach his apprentice skills.

In fact, when Jia Dongxu faced his master Yi Zhonghai today, he did feel a little nervous.

Last night, when Liu Haizhong was in the courtyard and asked people to follow him to the west wing, Jia Zhang, who was always keen on taking advantage, wanted to go out to watch the fun, but was stopped by her son Jia Dongxu. Soon, the sound of the courtyard gate collapsing was heard outside. Until then, Jia Dongxu did not agree to let his family go out to watch the fun. Instead, he turned off the lights early, and the family gathered in front of the window to look out.

Through the neighbors' discussions in the yard, the Jia family also roughly knew what was happening outside. Jia Dongxu said to his mother with a smug look on his face: "You listened to me, didn't you? If I hadn't stopped you, you would probably be in the police station now."

It was not until this time that Jia Zhang was completely convinced of her son. She felt a little scared when she thought about it. Fortunately, her precious son was smart. According to his personality, he would definitely follow Liu Haizhong to the west wing and would be caught together with those guys who joined in the fun. She couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that she had a smart and good son.

When the family members in the No. 95 courtyard surrounded Yi Zhonghai and made a big fuss, seeing Yi Zhonghai in such a mess, Jia Dongxu had no intention of helping him at all. Instead, he felt happy in his heart. He let you, a sanctimonious guy, pretend to be fair and just all day long and run the courtyard. Since you plan to let me, Young Master Jia, take care of you in your old age, you should think about the Jia family wholeheartedly. You don't even take the initiative to give 30 or 50 yuan a month for such a high salary. Anyway, you two can't use that much. Sooner or later, you will have to give it to yourself? But every time you give me some corn flour, you act like a savior. Is this retribution?

Originally, I thought I could watch Yi Zhonghai's predicament for a while longer, but who knew that this guy would completely push the matter aside with just a few words, and instead shifted the anger of the family members to Liu Haizhong's wife. Seeing everyone chasing Liu Haizhong's wife to the backyard, Jia Dongxu could only let down the curtains in disappointment and told his mother and wife to go to bed.

Qin Huairu's words on the kang made Jia Dongxu's heart beat fast. Qin Huairu asked in a low voice: "Dongxu, is the old man angry because you didn't go out to help tonight?"

Jia Dongxu was struck by lightning after hearing this. Yes, his home was in the middle courtyard. If he said that he had not heard the noise of those people, even a three-year-old child might not believe it, let alone the shrewd Yi Zhonghai? For a moment, Jia Dongxu wanted to slap himself twice. What a good opportunity this was. If he took the initiative to stand up and rescue Yi Zhonghai when he was surrounded by people, wouldn't Yi Zhonghai completely believe him? But he was blinded by his own greed and only thought about seeing Yi Zhonghai's joke, but he didn't think that this was a godsend opportunity to prove himself. At this time, Jia Dongxu was full of regret.

Seeing the worried look on Qin Huairu's face, Jia Dongxu quickly suppressed the regret in his heart and comforted her softly: "It's okay, I'll say a few nice words tomorrow morning and it will be over. Don't think too much and go to bed early."

So after breakfast early in the morning, Jia Dongxu hurried to Yi Zhonghai's house across the street, hoping to ask him to go to work together, and to say some more words that Yi Zhonghai would like to hear on the way to fool the matter, but Yi Zhonghai left early.

After work, Jia Dongxu originally planned to wait a while and find an excuse to go out for a smoke to chat with Yi Zhonghai, but his plan was disrupted by the soldiers and security guards who suddenly appeared at the door of the workshop. The workshop director had just announced that no one was allowed to leave the post without permission. Jia Dongxu could only helplessly wait until lunch time to find Yi Zhonghai again.

However, as soon as the morning bell rang, Yi Zhonghai hurried out of the workshop. When Jia Dongxu followed him out, he found that Yi Zhonghai had gone towards the office building. He had no choice but to walk to the second canteen where they usually ate with his co-workers. After getting his meal, Jia Dongxu ate slowly, still thinking about how to talk to Yi Zhonghai when he came back to get his meal. However, he didn't see Yi Zhonghai until almost everyone in the canteen had left. Jia Dongxu had to return to the workshop in disappointment.

Jia Dongxu did not see Yi Zhonghai in the workshop until the afternoon when it was almost time to go to work. Then he saw Yi Zhonghai walking into the workshop with a nervous look and hurried steps. However, this guy did not return to his workstation to work. Instead, he found the workshop director and said a few words, then hurried out.

Jia Dongxu couldn't help but wonder, what's wrong with this guy today? He was so mysterious that it was hard to figure out. He was processing the workpiece slowly while thinking about it. Jia Dongxu had developed a habit of slacking off at work. Every day, he would wait for Yi Zhonghai to finish his own work and come to help him. But today, Yi Zhonghai was not there, so Jia Dongxu had to do it himself. Otherwise, if he failed to complete the task, the workshop director would deduct his salary. He didn't want to suffer losses in vain.

More than an hour later, Yi Zhonghai walked into the workshop calmly, returned to his workstation and started working.

Although Jia Dongxu wanted to go over and talk to him, he had to give up after looking at the work he hadn't finished. Yi Zhonghai had asked for leave for more than an hour today, and he had to hurry up to finish his own tasks, so he definitely wouldn't be able to help Jia Dongxu. Jia Dongxu was depressed and sped up his work, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to finish his tasks today.
